Re: Walking possesion

No, it is an invalid levy. However, your father would be well advised to spend £5 - 10 to get a Statutory Declaration signed stating everything in the house belongs to him (or you can get one stating everything in the house belongs to your father). Any High Street solicitor will do these. An example can be found at Number 2b here:

Re: Walking possesion

Can you tell us a little more about the debt owed?

Re: Walking possesion

Yeah thanks the bill was for council tax at another place I lived at before coming back to my parents

Re: Walking possesion

As previous it is an invalid levy, you should contact the council involved and inform them of their bailiff for whom they are 100% liable faux pas, and ask them to control their over eager greedy troll, and instruct him to remove the unlawful levy.

What did he list, a car perchance?

Is the debt to the same council where your parents live, and what bailiff compaany is this?

Re: Walking possesion

Having major problems with a Liability Order and expecting a visit from a shark myself, and hence having made much research......I can concur that the signature isn't really worth the paperwork it's on! And yes you should contact whoever appointed the bailiff as they are vicariously responsible for the bailiffs actions. You could also report the bailiff through, I believe, Justice.org and complain of the actions and request they lose their licence.

Re: Walking possesion

There are a number of questions that need to be asked, viz. -

1. Did the OP's father let the bailiffs in willingly?
2. Did the bailiffs use coercion in order to gain entry?
3. Did the bailiffs use deceit in order to gain entry?

It isn't worth reporting the bailiff at this stage. You would be expected to have exhausted internal compaints procedures first. I think (not 100%) other adults with capacity can sign a WPO anyway. That doesn't alter the fact they cannot levy on someone else's goods, UNLESS of course you have joint liability with that person for the debt. Is that the case here?
